Abstract

The integration of NASA-sponsored research into undergraduate education in mathematics, science, engineering and technology (MSET), is discussed. The integration program is designed to improve undergraduate education in MSET by directly benefiting from the experiences of NASA field centers, affiliated partners and academic institutions. The goals include enhancing core courses in MSET curriculum, and up-grading core engineering laboratories to compliment upgraded MSET curriculum. Other goals include conducting research training for undergraduates in MSET disciplines through a sophomore shadow program and through research experience for undergraduates programs.
